Broken City Reviews, Interviews & More

There are a number of more new releases to home video today than in the last couple weeks, which is exciting, but most are wash outs from earlier this year and from last year. There are some great catalog titles, which is nice. Check it out…

It's easy to note that Jessica Chastain stars in the top two grossing films of this weekend (Mama and Zero Dark Thirty), but it's not like audiences were like "Man, that Jessica Chastain was great in that Osama Bin Laden movie, maybe we should see her in some horror film." In fact, most audiences probably don't even know who she is yet....

Allen Hughes has stepped out on his own to direct Broken City. It'san intriguing thriller that stumbles on its feet as it comes to a close. It keeps you guessing and has a wonderful cast, but those positives can't hide the film's flaws.

Nowadays, all it means is that it's a B picture that features stars, and may deliver the goods, but can't compete with...

Our hopes are much higher for this one, especially after this first clip where an intimidating Russell Crowe tells Wahlberg, "I own you."

The set up for Broken Cityis ripe. A cop (Mark Wahlberg) is asked by the mayor (Russell Crowe) to spy on his wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones), but it turns out the end game is not what was imagined. The trailer suggests that the film could be entertaining, so check it out.
